Title: Improvements in Percussive Rock Drilling Tools and Machines.
Inventor: KIRSCH GEORGE HANS
IPC: B25D17/08
Filed: 1913-01-25
Granted: 1914-01-26
Abstract: 2081. Kirsch, G. H. Jan. 25. Percussive drills.-In a percussive rock drill of the type comprising a reciprocating hollow piston and a relatively long tool or tool-holder which extends through the piston and is adapted to he advanced from the piston as the drilling proceeds, the tool and piston are locked together by partial relative rotation. As shown in Fig. 1, the tool 1 has at intervals along its length mutilated lugs 9, occurring singly or in groups, which are brought into register with corresponding lugs 10 in the chuck by longitudinal movement and are engaged therewith by rotation. Contacting circumferential surfaces of the tool and chuck may be formed as cams or wedges which tighten on each other. In a modified attachment, the tool is secured by the usual U-bolt and pad, with or without a tightening- wedge, the pad being formed to engage the lugs. Water may be passed through the tool from a swivel gland 19, the tool then having a packing 20. The tail-rod 5 of the piston 3 may be rifled to engage ratchet mechanism 22 for rotating the tool. The feed-screw 25 is rotated from a crank handle 26 through worm gearing 27, 28 or the like. Specification 18.443/12 is referred to. The Provisional Specification states also that the lugs on the tool may be coned rearwards and longitudinal wedges introduced into the spaces left between the tool and the chuck when the lugs have been turned into place.

Title: Improvements in Mixing Valves.
Inventor: ROST RICHARD
IPC: F16K11/20
Filed: 1913-10-13
Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 23,105. Rost, R. Oct. 13. Mixing-valves for supplying hot and cold water either separately or as a mixture in any proportion are constructed as shown in Fig. 2. The cold water passes from the pipe c to the inside of a cone valve which can be lifted from its seat 3 by means of a screwed spindle 5 and operating-handle p. At a certain stage of the operation, projections 6 of the valve member engage an annular shoulder g of the sleeve 7 and lift the seat 3 off the seat b against the action of a spring 9. Hot water then passes from the chamber 1 under the disk 3 and over the seat b into the valve casing to mix with the cold water. When the sleeve 7 is forced against the end of the valve casing, the cold-water supply is cut off, hot water alone being supplied. A flange f is provided to prevent the water currents from mixing before entering the free space of the casing. Water is directed through either outlet h or i by a cylinder 12 with an outlet 12<1>, this valve member surrounding the valves 3, 4 and having an operating-handle l. Steam may be used instead of hot water.

Condensers for high voltages are composed of a tube R of' insulating-material covered and lined with metallic rings 4, 5 arranged alternately in the manner shown in Fig. 1. Such tubes may be jointed by a socket joint formed by one of the rings as at V. To avoid errors in measuring high potentials due to radiations, two condensers of the type described may be used, one within the other, the outer one having a protective junction. The condensers may be used as protective screens in other applications, for example in connexion with ohmic resistances in nigh - tension circuits. The rings may be arranged so as to give any desired potential gradient to suit that of the body it is desired to protect.. The mechanical strength of the condenser may be utilized in directly supporting a measuring-instrument, as shown in Fig. 2, from the high-tension conductors L. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) contains also the following subject-matter: A condenser constructed as described may be employed as an insulating-support having a known or predetermined fall in potential over its surface. Air-space insulation may be employed. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
